JW ANDERSON
INDIGITAL
JW Anderson is going back to traditional feminine territory with lace, doily fabrics and frilly edges with his signature silhouettes and oversized proportions channelled into skirts and silhouettes with a bohemian feel tossed together. The collection including breezy and playful bib tops, macramé overlays and headscarves. Models wearing long striped dresses with white bib tops and handkerchief hems, fit-and-flare knit dresses came with tank tops or delicate lace sleeves. Fringed macramé dangled from the edges of tailored check jackets, low-slung necklines and floor-sweeping fringe from sleeves of cropped blouses. Wide trousers and cotton skirts paired together with Converse sneakers or boots.
HOUSE OF HOLLAND
A collection with a vast range of accessories
and bright neon colours dominated this season. Attention grabbing neon sandals
with nylon sportswear pieces, track-pants and parachute parkas. The collaboration
with Speedo made into bodysuits paired together with tracksuits and
off-the-shoulder dresses in blue and pink. Double-denim in ombre
aubergine and orange and paper-bag pants in pistachio, perhaps the easiest
pieces for any rushing commuter to jump into included parkas in black and pink.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
Marking 10 years in the business Victoria Beckham took her
new season collection to London for her first show in the capital after her residency
in New York. The opening look was a white suit with a buckle belt which set the
tone for this collection and along with it came long dresses and trousers with
flat boots, textured knits came together with wraparound dresses or layered
under tailored jackets. Heavy contrasts played a part in this collection with
flowing Greek Goddess like dresses with bright blue rope belt and a red ribbed
skirt with a handkerchief hem accessorised with a pink robe belt. Lace-edged
slip dresses layered over boyish flat-front trousers where delicate lacing
peeked from a deep V-neck black trouser suit. At best this collection was sexy with delicate
lace worn as daywear, these clothes are building a movement
MARY KATRANTZOU
Mary Katrantzou’s
collection dominated by butterflies in frame adorned dresses, gems spilled out
on rigid dresses and many dresses fashioned in a way of a jewellery box. Dresses
constructed through panelling and patching tulle and trompe-L’œil shift dresses
with digitally printed jewellery on the front. The first few dresses on the
stamp theme, overlapping pieces laid out on grids were linked together with strips
of transparent lace. This season was even more extravagant, transparent blow-up
jacket packed with imitation coral and seaweed worn with white tulle dress
covered in embroidered flowers.
INDIGITAL
Roland Mouret’s spring show noted specific inspirational references from the 1974 film Emmanuelle, Yonic symbolism and the power of females. The collection is based upon a collection of women’s voices and femininity. The Yonic stymbolism was manifested as brooches, necklaces and badges. The use of statement pins were arranged on lapels, invoking political involvement. Low cut icey blue dress came early on aswell as fine lace netting that was layered beneath tops and dress hems. A bluebell print appeared on a caftan, accessorized with a tiny staw-and-chain cross-body bag and floral cut-outs on a knit top or a mid-skirt or a lime green trench with matching mid-rise trousers.

Preen By Thornton Bregazzi
INDIGITAL
Fortune tellers and gypsies and the new breed of so-called digital nomads were the inspiration for designing this collection. Clashing prints, colours and disparate references exploded onto the runway. Technical nylon fabrics ,made into loose shorts and juxtaposed with pretty floral and ruffled tops: minidresses featuring patchwork of different prints and slashed knitted panels draped over them. Short knitted vests layered with tulle and florals draped over minidresses.
